Armenian football team captain: I dedicate these victories to our nation

"I am glad we won three matches in a row. I dedicate these victories to our nation. At this difficult times, perhaps a slight smile appeared on people’s faces," captain of the Armenian national football team Varazdat Haroyan told a news conference after they defeated Romania 3-2 in a FIFA World Cup qualifying match on Wednesday.

Haroyan said it is a great honor for him to enter the pitch with the captain's armband.
